I Love Spring And Not Having To Cook So Much !!!
This past weekend so the first weekend of April out on our deck, hopefully the sun is here to stay now ... they pollen can go but man, I love not being able to cook or plan as much, Dave BBQ's a bunch of stuff on the weekends and I just use that meat throughout the week in different dishes ... LOVE IT !!! Also we always have sun fun out on the deck while daddy BBQ's.
This weekends selection ... or some of it anyway :-)
This is a weird picture I know but Amber is bending over and looking through her legs and Jade is doing the same but in the opposite direction so they are looking at each other between Ambers legs, it was too cute, they were giggling so much.
Even though her hair has gone so dark during Winter that it's almost the same color as Ambers now which Jade does not like of course ... she says well at least Amber will never have my blue eyes :-) and I guess she is right although I might shock her one day and get Amber blue contacts for Halloween and all (hehehe) of course when Amber is a lot older ... that would definitely tick Jade off :-)
More fun.
Jade showing off ... well not sure what I am doing with the gymnastics next Fall, she is going into a Cheer and Tumble Camp for two weeks in Summer, at a different gym just to check the place out, it's so much smaller than the gym she is at and I don't think quite as professional but I am just not seeing too much of an improvement over the past year so we need to change things up, also the new gym is closer to home which will make life so much easier for all of us. Maybe in the Fall we will just do Cheer but I am worried she will lose what she knows now if she doesn't keep it up ... I don't know we will see.
REMEMBER TO SCROLL UP AND DOWN ... SORRY FOR ALL THE REPEATING BUT JUST DON'T WANT YOU TO MISS ANYTHING.

Some Fun On The Deck.
Some fun on the deck one sunny afternoon. Problem is I wanted to take a bunch of pics of them together but Amber gets in these moods lately that she does not want Jade to invade her personal space, this was one of those days.
Running and playing trying to get the ball in the hoop :-)
Jade and her usual pose :-)
Amber climbing on the couch to see the fish ... and then to listen to Jade doing her school reading :-)
REMEMBER TO SCROLL UP AND DOWN SO YOU DON'T MISS ANYTHING ... THIS WAS A BIG UPDATE WITH TONS OF NEW PAGES AND PICS.

My Silly Girl On Her Quad !!!
Ok so I think I have posted pics of this before now but this is the quad that Santa brought Amber for Christmas, she thoroughly enjoys riding it even though it took her for what felt like forever to get it right. Anyway for the most part she just rides around in circles downstairs in the house. It keeps her busy while I am cleaning up in the kitchen or making dinner.
Much of the time she will ride into things and turn the bike around on her own but she gets lazy too and expects mom to do it and I do sometimes but today I was taking pics of her and she rode into the door, she turned around and looked at me expecting me to move her and all I was telling her to do was TURN AROUND AMBER well ... she looked at me crazy and guess what ... look what my bright girl did !!!
She turned around right, oh my gosh I just about dropped down laughing and I was here all by myself, it was so funny, just look at her face and she thought she was being clever.
And there she goes again ...
She and I were having such fun ... but now it's time for dinner so this is where I have to take another break.
REMEMBER TO SCROLL UP AND DOWN TO SEE WHAT YOU HAVE MISSED. ENJOY !!!

My Mother Will Never Believe This !!!
Yeah me neither actually, I bought it to surprise Dave but thought he would eat it cold like a salad or something but he was insistent that I steam it and warm it up ... I cannot believe I did that in my house and it stank !!! This hubby of mine better love me big time !!! That being said NEVER AGAIN !!!
I am sure he was glad he didn't have to share it with anyone !!!

Sitting Outside Waiting For The School Bus ...
Just a few pics of Jade as she got off the school bus, I was waiting for her outside, it was such a pretty sunshine day.
My blue eyed girl !!!
Then this is Jades first project ... yep I think I know more about South Korea than I ever wanted to !!!

Waking Sleeping Beauty ... or not so much !!!
This is often how it goes in the afternoons if Amber oversleeps and we have to get going somewhere else and Jade happily goes to wake Amber up (hehehe).
Here still in dreamland.
She always wakes up happy, wish I could open my eyes and smile like that :-)
Quite happy until she sees Jade ... oh yeah there are days that Amber wants nothing to do with Jade and on those days Jade knows just how to tease and push her buttons as you see here :-)
But thankfully wasn't long and she had sweet talked her into loving her again ... but that too didn't last long because guess what Jade did next ?
Can you see the shock and horror in Ambers Face (hehehe) well I won't post the pics of Amber throwing an absolute fit but Jade will give you an idea of what it looked like (hehehe) oh golly ... I am sure there will be many of these tiffs to come in the future.

Pre And Post St Paddy's Day Pics !!!
Jade had an International Day at school we we decided to dress up to support Ireland that day since I had already bought stuff for St Paddy's Day to represent my Brother and Gigi in Ireland :-) These were such cute pics ...
Figured I would put one or two of Jade up since lately there are way more pics of Amber and Jade has voiced her dislike of that !!!
This was before we went outside, I was trying to get Amber to put shoes on and she wanted to put Jade slops on but Jade was killing herself laughing at how ticklish Amber was when she was trying to put them on. Either way we went onto the deck with no shoes ... not sure how that happened.
As of late, Amber likes Jade carrying her around and often will just go to her and say 'up up' and of course Jade loves carrying her around even though Amber is so heavy I don't like her doing it.
It was so funny, I took so many pics here but didn't want to post too many it takes too long but Amber was copying everything Jade did which was so cute :-) I have to tell Jade to be careful though coz Amber wants to copy her and when Jade does hand stands and whatever I am worried that Amber will break her neck but one has to keep a constant watch coz obviously I cannot rely on Jade always remembering that but she's a good kid and looks out for her sister most of the time.
I love these lying down ones :-) they just look so natural.
Later after running around a bit, Amber showed Jade to come sit again ... can't wait till she can talk and tell her sister what to do for real :-)
And then she showed Jade to lie down again and you can see, she is trying to copy the way Jade was folding her hands, was so cute to see.
Then this was actual St Paddy's Day but late in the afternoon so a sweaty Jade from school still doing the pose though (hehehe) and this a head shot of Amber.
Anyway, that's it for St Paddy's Day this year, wonder if it will be the last one I will represent for my brother or whether by next year they have moved to Canada by then yet ... now what do you wear on Canada Day ... golly it would be so much easier if he just moved to the States but hey ... I am not complaining, Canada is way closer, I am very excited about that !!!

Thank God She Was Contained ...
One morning after breakfast while Amber was still in her PJ's I decided it was a good day to play with some finger paint which I had bought over the weekend. I always say my kids are very deprived coz I hate doing crafts at home, I also say how thankful I am that my best friend Tina and my neighbor Colleen are very crafty and always include Jade in their stuff so hopefully she gets her fill there :-)
Anyway I figured she better get used to fingerpaint before she goes to preschool in the Fall and has no idea what to do with it so ... here you go, this is how it went.
She didn't quite know what to do with it and I had to help her a bit ...
But as you can see once she got into it, she knew exactly what to do and getting it away from her when we or I was done was a mission (hehehe) yeah I laugh now but it wasn't so funny then.
Thankfully it's all washable and nothing a good bath couldn't fix.
